Always on the lookout for recommendations. Feel free to leave me some.
On Ratings:
I have no regrets watching anything I've rated a 6 or higher. [fuck you Elfen Lied, you vile abomination]
I'm more inclined to be overly complimentary than overly critical. Beyond that, it's all whimsy... still, my scores are the objective truth and those who hold a different opinion are doing it wrong

On Making a Difference:
Steps to be a self-harming, financial backer of cruelty and murder who's caught in a stream of apathy and ignorance that's pushing the planet towards a precipice: 1) eat meat
Steps to be a superhero: 1) stop eating meat
This book is rather complicated and may be a bit overwhelming. Certainly there were sections of it that left me scratching my head, but the standard of the writing is incredible.
The Stranger by Albert Camus
Very short, wonderful book that imagines a man who rejects all social norms and lives only for himself.
The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers
Southern Gothic novel about several characters living in the Southern USA during the 1950s or so, each one of them battling feelings of intense loneliness.
Lucky Jim by Kingsley Amis
Perhaps one of the funniest novels I have ever read. I don't see many people talk about Amis which is a shame, his writing is excellent.
Nausea by Jean Paul Sartre
Provides an introduction to Existentialism. I read it several years ago and felt I didn't understand it entirely, but those parts I did grasp I found myself in agreement with.
That should give somewhere to start. Consider the recommendations in descending order. If you already read one, simply skip it.
Lol 15% compatibility isn't bad, I've had negative with quite a few people. I have been meaning to check out Arise eventually but it's just not extremely high on my list. I get the feeling that doesn't have a lot of what made SAC stand out, or would I be wrong about that?

I can't believe how good she is at cleanly jumping from one note to another!
